HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – A Guam bingo hall operator who was sentenced to more than 21 years in prison for defrauding patrons who believed their money would help fly sick children to Shriners Hospital in Honolulu for care, is on the FBI’s new Most Wanted Fraudster’s List.
Michael Marasigan, 54, and his co-conspirators defrauded patrons at the Guam Shrine Club from 2015 to 2021, according to the FBI. The operation, which touted itself as the best bingo experience on Guam, promised money would be used for a transportation fund for flying sick children to Shriners Hospital in Honolulu.
Hafa Adai Bingo laundered millions from the $34 million the operation generated, according to federal authorities.
